The roommate situation was unintentional at first.
Belphegor had stopped by Leviathan's for the sole purpose of paying him a brief visit, more of a courtesy for a fellow demon and prince of Hell than anything else. It was the sort of thing that kept most of the other princes appeased enough to leave him alone when it came to business from back home. He found that not showing face often enough led to some of the pushier princes seeking him out and that was something to be avoided at all costs.
So, it was just a courtesy call to begin with. A visit to Leviathan was an effort to show he was getting just as much attention as the other princes to avoid any fallout from the misconception that Belphegor might favor any of them more.
It was his own fault for listening to talk of moving in, a concept that had been stuck in Leviathan's head thanks to something he'd seen on television. And it was entirely Leviathan's fault for appealing to the prince most likely to enjoy staying over.
Because the initial talk of roommates went from a couple of nights of crashing on Leviathan's couch to a month of living together in a flash. And it was about a week in that Belphegor went from sleeping on the couch to crawling into Leviathan's bed next to him, burrowing under blankets and sleeping for twelve hours a day.
A month had already gone by like that and another night was looking to go exactly the same as Bel made his way into the bedroom some time after Levi had already crawled into bed. He made no move to check if the other prince was already asleep as he slipped into bed beside him and shifted closer, curling toward the warmth of the other body with a pleased hum.
